I also faced the same problem "fatal: '/gitosis-admin.git' does not appear to be a valid repository." I searched a lot for the problem and finally found the solution.

Actually, the default address of gitosis user is "/srv/gitosis" : As in case of my setup having ubuntu server 10.04.

And when we write "git clone gitosis@server.com:gitosis-admin.git", it searches for gitosis-admin.git repository in /srv/gitosis. So when I entered inside the /srv/gitosis, I found out that there is another repository inside it named as repositories which consists of the gitosis-admin.git repository.

So actually by default the gitosis-admin.git was not in the default location. So I have to modify the command path and then it worked fine.

I got the repository cloned onto my local machine. I used the command as:

"git clone gitosis@server.com:repositories/gitosis-admin.git" and it worked fine for me.

See for the gitosis-admin directory in your case and I hope you will be able to solve your problem.
